Default Martin Fordī32 5 Window Build

In case you guys are ok with it I think it would be fun to make a tread about my on goin project.
I started with a very bad American Graffiti copy made sometimes in the ī80s. Still it is a reel steel coupe......with loads of bondo =)
The only thing left for the project is the body and window moldings, the rest went down to the trash-can.








Here is what Ivé started with..

Great save! Amazing what you can find when you go digging.
Tagging along for the ride, I want to see where this goes.

I'd have to agree with those who say that this is a great save. I like what you have done and are planning on doing with it.

I have to disagree with Lowsquire though, I'm damn near as sick of black cars as I am of those Graffiti clones I like black as well as the next guy but you see photos of a Hamb related event and 70% of the vehicles there are black in one form or another.

My plan is to build it fenderless with original style hood/hoodsides, thin exelcior comp-v tires.18" back and 17" up front. Donīt now what kind of wheels yet =(.
Two tone classic solid paint.
Now I have a sb chevy for it, I know that a lot of people dont like it but thats the way it is. Had the motor "on the shelf" with only 1500 miles . My goal is to get a 409 but that wont be until the car is done, first of all I better spend money to get the car together so I can drive it and have some fun. No matter what kind of motor.
Most important for me is to get the right stance and a overall well build car =)

First I started with a new chassie, am-stamping rails, frontend from S.A.C, new
9" bellhousing and a firewall made in sweden.
Bad pic =(

I measure it tomorrow, and I can also see if I can find some original door parts for you. Might have something lying around

If for some Strange reason I became a multi millionaire, i would buy up every steel 5W that has been turned into a clone of that shitful car, and undo the damage. Thankyou for helping rid the world of Milner Clones! you are a Good man.

oh, and DONT two tone it!
Theres this really dark colour that works well on early Fords...

its called black.

I agree, its ok with One Milner Coupe.
Black rides are often awsome but I think it sometimes can be a little to many of them, dont know why but I just like two tone ......here,s my "get to work moped" with a flipstyle gascap I fabricate.
